Lyrics
Railroad Side
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A fallen night by the railroad side
Myself dishevelled in the palest blue
If there's a question
Then its's clear
Where's all this leading to
Say if there's a reason why
Everything's cold tonight
And i feel as i do
The starry figures of my wonder
Your pointed figure ran them through
My words are left just to fill up the gutter
To trip up my tongue
To break me in two
Say if there's a reason why
Everything's cold tonight
And i feel as i do
A glad return to the pitter patter
Of rain drops splashing our shoes
The grey coal slopes
Look just like mountains
Along the fallen by the railroad side
Say if there's a reason
Why everything's cold tonight
And i feel as i do
